Tupac Shakur Death Row Records

Death Row Records
Upon his release from Clinton Correctional Facility, Shakur immediately went back to song recording He began a new group called Outlaw Immortalz Shakur began recording his first album with Death Row and released the single "California Love" soon after On February 13, 1996, Shakur released his fourth solo album, All Eyez on Me This double album was the first and second of his three-album commitment to Death Row Records It sold over nine million copies[54] The record was a general departure from the introspective subject matter of Me Against the World, being more oriented toward a thug and gangsta mentality Shakur continued his recordings despite increasing problems at the Death Row label Dr Dre left his post as house producer to form his own label, Aftermath Shakur continued to produce hundreds of tracks during his time at Death Row, most of which would be released on his posthumous albums R U Still Down? (Remember Me), Still I Rise, Until the End of Time, Better Dayz, Loyal to the Game and Pac's Life He also began the process of recording an album with the Boot Camp Clik and their label Duck Down Records, both New York-based, entitled One Nation[55]
On June 4, 1996, he and Outlawz released the diss track "Hit 'Em Up", a scathing lyrical assault on Biggie and others associated with him In the track, Shakur claimed to have had intercourse with Faith Evans, Biggie's wife at the time, and attacks Bad Boy's street credibility Though no hard evidence suggests so, Shakur was convinced that some members associated with Bad Boy had known about the '94 attack on him beforehand due to their behavior that night and what his sources told him Shakur aligned himself with Suge, Death Row's CEO, who was already bitter toward Combs over a 1995 incident at the Platinum Club in Atlanta, Georgia, which culminated in the death of Suge's friend and bodyguard, Jake Robles; Suge was adamant in voicing his suspicions of Combs' involvement[56] Shakur's signing with Suge and Death Row added fuel to building an East Coast-West Coast conflict Both sides remained bitter enemies until Shakur's death On July 4, 1996, he performed live at the House of Blues with Outlawz, Tha Dogg Pound, and Snoop Doggy Dogg also headlining This was Shakur's very last live performance[57]
While incarcerated in Clinton Correctional Facility, Shakur read and studied Niccolo Machiavelli and other published works, which inspired his pseudonym "Makaveli" under which he released the record album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory The album presents a stark contrast to previous works Throughout the album, Shakur continues to focus on the themes of pain and aggression, making this album one of the emotionally darker works of his career Shakur wrote and recorded all the lyrics in only three days and the production took another four days, combining for a total of seven days to complete the album (hence the name)
Makaveli Records
He mentioned Makaveli Records a few times before his death This was supposed to be a music label for up and coming artists that Shakur had an interest in developing or potentially signing, and his own future projects would have also been published through it as well[58]
